Does this tv have a sound control feature built in to keep commercials from SCREAMING at a volume level above the standard volume you've set?

Hi jaclyn carrington, this Sony KDL70W850B do have a setting called "[Advanced Auto Volume]" which automatically compensates for the volume level that may vary by program or input. You can select among the choices of Off, Normal or Night. -Ely

Yes you have volume control, and you only have one sound jack, that is needed for the tv.

Yes. At least my Samsung TV UN65C8000 remote controls it. Mute and Volume. You will have to disable the TV sound as the sound bar and TV sound is slightly out of sync.

Yes, they do but I usually mute the sound on the televison and just use the sound bar. The sound bar is worth the money.

No, the volume is controlled by a toggle on the left speaker, and, in practice, this works very well. The TV remote controls the basic sound level directed to all listeners. The Audio Fox toggle controls the sound level emitting out of the two personal speakers.I hope this helps.

Mine does not. I have a Panasonic Smart TV. I either raise the volume manually or use the "very" small remote that comes with the item. Sometimes I mute the TV. Just depends.

Most of the TV's that come out nowdays have this issue and it's a real pain, isn't it? What you have to do is go into MENU and then SOUND and then play with the settings that come under that heading. If I remember there are a few choices but I chose the SOFT setting and it makes a big difference. The STANDARD or DYNAMIC settings seem to cause the sound to go up and down. Here's the reason the sound fluctuates in the first place...it's mostly caused by the station from where you are receiving the transmission regardless of whether it's cable or satellite as it's most noticeable during commercials. The commercials will produce the highest setting ( loudest ) in order to reach the peak transmission signal for audio to get your attention...that is why they are always loud when they come on. During a broadcast of most shows they will not do this but there is a peak audio from any show...the commercial advertisers just exploit this to the maximum.

HI, the speaker overrides the TV volume. You can lower the TV volume but the speaker still pumps out the volume it's set at so you don't hear much difference. It's frustrating as I like to mute and lower volume when I watch and can't do either well with the speaker attached. If anyone knows the solution, I'd love to hear it too.

Lots of other sound bars do have this feature. So, not a dumb question at all.

The volume can be set constant, and if low enough you could watch TV with it on. But is also has a function where the volume level increase or decreases based on noice it picks up. So the higher the volume on the TV, the louder the machine would go. You would have to set the volume level as constant. This thing is a big upgrade on our earlier machine, and works really well as it is highly adjustable.

Not that I know of. It was loud enough for me to hear over the monitor with no problem.

I dont know if this is what u r looking 4 but there is a in-line volume control that allows me to turn the volume up without raising the volume on my tv.

Yes. There is a 1/8 inch headphone jack on the front of this box and a volume control knob for it. The TV volume can be completely down, and your headphone volume will be independantly controlled by this unit's volume knob.

There are two volume settings on it. Even the lowest setting is not very quiet. I can hear it while the tv is on at a normal volume...If that helps at all.

Yes....but it is turned off when you get the TV and you have to activate it in the menu under sound.

Hi Sandra! If you're still having this problem, you'll need to go into your audio settings. Sometimes it's listed under "Auto Volume." If it is, then you'll need to change it to something other than what it's on, like "night" instead of "normal." Or you might need to put it on "fixed." When volume fluctuates, it's because an audio setting is set to allow the various tv programming volume to come through, like some commercials might be louder than the programming. Just need to fix the setting so that it stays the same volume no matter the programming.

Yes it does, in the audio playback section of the setup menu (if I remember correctly), under variable or fixed output, select VARIABLE, this will allow you to control the volume from the remote.
